Analysis and optimal control of a fractional-order model of a vector-borne disease
Ali Traoré; Rosaire Ouedraogo; Hamadoum Dicko
In this paper, a fractional-order model has been developed to study the transmission dynamics of a vector-borne disease. The use of fractional calculus, particularly through the Caputo derivative, provides a mathematical framework that accounts for memory effects and long-term dynamics often observed in vector-borne diseases. The difference be(...)

Regard paysan face à l’Aflatoxine et les biocontrôles au Burkina Faso. Perceptions, canaux d’information et adoption de l’Aflasafe dans la province du Tuy.
Souleymane Karambiri Tionyélé Fayama Sombénéwendé Rasmata Zoungrana Dramane Traore Mahamoudou Sawadogo Alkassoum Maiga
L’aflatoxine constitue un problème sanitaire et économique majeur pour les filières du maïs et de l’arachide en Afrique
de l’Ouest. Malgré l’existence de solutions de biocontrôle telles que l’Aflasafe, leur adoption par les producteurs
demeure limitée et hétérogène. Cet article analyse les perceptions paysannes de l’aflatoxine et les facteur(...)

Numerical Study of the Thermal Behavior of a Wall Built with Different Materials in a Hot and Dry Climate
Jean Marie Compaore, Vincent Zoma, Boureima Kabore, Arouna Kabore and Sié Kam
This article presents a numerical study of the thermal behavior of walls made from different materials in a hot and dry climate, constituting a first step of thesis work. The main objective is to analyze the temperature evolution inside walls built of hollow cement blocks and local materials (CEB, CLB, and adobe), in order to identify the leas(...)

Acute and subchronic toxicity of aqueous extracts of Combretum micranthum (G. Don) and Gardenia sokotensis (Hutch) having ethnobotanical uses in Burkina Faso
OUEDRAOGO Elisabeth,*, ZABRE Genevieve, TINDANO Basile, YOUGBARE Wendyam Jöelle Raymonde, OWONA Pascal Emmanuel, BAYALA Balé
Medicinal plants are the major sources of drugs used to treat diseases. Scientific studies were performed on some plants, but few data are available on the medicinal plants used to manage bone diseases in Burkina Faso. This study was conducted to identify medicinal plants used in the treatment of osteoporosis and investigate the acute and subc(...)

During their aquatic life stages, mosquitoes coexist with various organisms that may prey upon them. Beyond the direct predation risk, exposure to predators may induce stress that alters mosquito life history traits. In this study, we evaluated the
non-consumptive effects of 2 aquatic predators on Anopheles coluzzii Coetzee & Wilkerson life h(...)
